Pilobolus' Shadowland

In this groundbreaking and beguiling theatrical experience, the internationally acclaimed group presents an ingenious mix of shadow theater, dance, circus and rock concert. The surreal story of a girl’s coming of age takes audiences on an eye-popping thrill ride that is at once comic, threatening, seductive and transformative. Think Alice in Wonderland meets Cirque Du Soleil. The dancers contort their bodies into wild configurations that, when enacted behind a lit screen, produce shadows that resemble elephants, wild plants and even the Empire State Building. The New York Times notes, “Visually and mechanically, ‘Shadowland’ is deft, teeming with clever tricks of the body, scenery and light.”
